Getting Started as a Life Coach

I wrote my new ebook, Prioritize Your Calling: A Quick-Start Guide to Becoming a Life Coach with Credibility, Purpose, and a Clear Path Forward, for women who are ready to move toward coaching—but don’t yet see themselves as “coaches.” (Grab your free copy here.)

What I hear most often from these women is that they simply don’t feel ready.

They’re natural leaders. They’re often the most grounded people in their families and workplaces. They already give guidance, listen deeply, and support others through change. But when it comes to stepping into the role of coach in a professional way, they hesitate. They assume they’re missing something—some special training, personality type, or hidden trait that “real coaches” must have.

That hesitation is usually reinforced by another fear: judgment.

What will people think? Will I be taken seriously? Do I have what it takes? Will my colleagues think I’ve lost focus? Will my family understand why I’m doing this?

These questions don’t go away on their own. And trying to answer them in your head—without structure or support—only feeds the cycle of doubt.

My ebook offers a starting point. Not theory, not fluff, and not a vague encouragement to “trust the process.” It lays out what coaching is, what kind of experience actually matters, what training and certification involve, and how to begin aligning your desire with an actual, professional path forward.

The truth is, most of the women I work with already have the raw material they need to become excellent coaches. They’ve lived. They’ve healed. They’ve led. But what they lack is a framework that helps them shape their lived experience into a credible and sustainable business.

They’re also missing a container that honors the complexity of who they are—not just as future coaches, but as full people with families, careers, histories, and real questions.

This book doesn’t tell you to quit your job or dive headfirst into something you’re not ready for. It invites you to begin thinking differently about readiness. It helps you recognize that fear of judgment is common, but not permanent—and that experience isn’t about perfection. It’s about being willing to take what you know and build something meaningful with it.

If coaching is on your mind but you keep talking yourself out of it because you don’t know where to begin, this book is a practical, no-pressure place to start.
